Abstract:

L'articolo fornisce un quadro breve del progetto di ricerca ‘Linguaggio/lingua, spazio e potere in Italia sin dal 1800’ che sto conducendo alla British School at Rome dal 2006 al 2009, e fornisce esempi tratti da uno dei più completi case studies. Nell'insieme, con questi case studies si esaminano gli intrecci del linguaggio/lingua, dello spazio e del potere in un certo numero di istituzioni e agenzie, inclusi l'esercito, i tribunali e gli ospedali psichiatrici, e in ricerche etnografiche e antropologiche. Il caso qui illustrato è quello della recente immigrazione in Italia e in particolare la verbalizzazione delle relazioni di potere tra ospiti e immigrati, e le rappresentazioni verbali e visive degli immigrati. I due esempi costituiscono eventi che hanno avuto luogo nel campo di detenzione di Regina Pacis in Puglia e le rappresentazioni degli immigrati rumeni a Roma, incluse le giovani donne che lavorano come prostitute.

Abstract:

This paper, besides a short introduction concerning general information on themes and the structure present in the short story collection Lo cunto de li cunti overo lo trattenemiento de’ peccerille, written by the Italian Baroque author Giambattista Basile, whose masterpiece enjoyed great fame abroad much earlier than in Italy, is concerned with the analysis of fantastic and grotesque elements which generally characterise oral tradition, fairy tales and myths. The above-mentioned elements were identified in the fifty short stories which Basile wrote and included in his collection. Various sources were used in the analysis, relying on myths and fairy tales with the aim of explaining the presence of the grotesque. Besides its great literary value, this collection is also of great historical importance because, just like many other examples of oral tradition, it fosters a vast span of costumes and traditions that are typical of the Mediterranean folklore. From one tale to another, the collection slowly but surely reveals the Mediterranean identity of the people from the South of Italy and explains the function of the grotesque and its didactic purpose.

Abstract:

AbstractAgencies in charge of flood management use disaster reports (DRs) as the preferred source of information on past flooding events. A systematic survey of DRs prepared by Italian agencies suggests that DRs could be widely enhanced in view of targeting more effective communication to citizens, reinforcing the communication pillar in civil protection planning and management, and improving the resilience of the population to extreme events. Without loss of the rigor and details required for all the usual technical uses of DRs, we suggest recompiling them in the form of “disaster tales” (DTs), as tools that offer wider knowledge of the events to improve people’s preparedness and self-protection behavior. Recent major flooding events have demonstrated the communication potential that videos and pictures taken by citizens have for risk perception and disaster preparedness. By watching and listening to what has happened the communication recipient can better understand the feelings of the people experiencing an emergency. The structure of the improved reports, we suggest, will finally integrate data, graphs, and maps with interactive tools and be able to present handier multimedia views of the events. Application to three case studies of flooding in Italy illustrates how to concretely implement the suggested disaster reports to create more readily accessible disaster tales.

Abstract:

AbstractA single fragment of a thirteenth-century Hebrew translation of an Arthurian romance is testimony to the familiarity of Jews in Italy with the popular tales of King Arthur. The translator is a learned jew, well-versed in Hebrew, scripture and exegesis, and yet his translation is a classic example of a chivalric romance set in a culture far removed from that of its translator and its possible readers.

Abstract:

An allusive plot of an incestuous brother-sister marriage runs through Virgil's story of Dido and Aeneas, signalled both by imagery comparing Dido and Aeneas to Diana and Apollo, moon and sun, and by allusion to Callimachean poems celebrating actual brother-sister marriages at the Ptolemaic court. Aeneas' departure from Carthage marks the relegation to the past of Alexandrian temptations and a journey to a future foundation based on exogamy, although Italy itself is not free from the dangers of incest and fratricide. Ovid's explicit tales of incest comment on Virgil's allusive narrative.

Abstract:

As is well known, in 1935 the famous Soviet writer Aleksey Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1883–1945) wrote the fairy tale Zolotoj klyuchik, ili Priklyucheniya Buratino (The Little Golden Key, or the Adventures of Buratino) inspired by Collodi’s Pinocchio (1883), that he read and loved some years earlier. Considering the substantial relationships between the two works, the present paper aims at analysing them from two main points of view: a) the different connotations attributed to animal and human characters; b) the authentic nature of the “implied reader” (W. Iser) in the two texts, regardless of the moralistic or ideological contexts in which they were respectively conceived.Are they really to be considered as “fairy tales for children”? To what kind of child are they addressed?

Abstract:

The interest in fairy tales grew strongly over the course of the nineteenth century, particularly in Germany, the birthplace of Frans Stracké (1820-1898). Renowned artists made illustrations for popular publications of fairy tales and in the middleof the century characters from fairy tales also appeared in paintings and sculptures. The sculptor Frans Stracké was inspired by this development and in the eighteen-sixties created a Sleeping Beauty and a Snow White. He may have chosen these designs because the sleeping figure offers greater sculptural possibilities, for example in funeral art. He showed Sleeping Beauty at the precise moment she falls asleep, after she had pricked her finger on a spindle. Stracké followed the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm from 1812, in which the ill-fated event was predicted during the celebration of Sleeping Beauty’s birth. Sleeping Beauty (also known as Briar Rose) was precisely the sort of subject Stracké preferred: he excelled in making genre-like sculpture of a very high standard. This was little appreciated in the Netherlands, whereas in France and Italy practitioners of this type of sculpture enjoyed considerable success. Stracké is credited with introducing contemporary developments in European sculpture into the Netherlands; Sleeping Beauty is a relatively early and typical example.

The topic of this article is the reception of Varlam Shalamov’s output since his first official publication of The Kolyma tales in1978 inLondon until now. Works published inRussia andPoland, also inFrance,Great Britain,Italy,Israel,Germany,USA andAustralia have been deeply analysed. It was proved that first publications were dedicated to Varlam Shalamov’s biography and the portrayal of the Gulag civilization (since the second half of 90’s, last century). Problems of poetic in works are dominating in last publications. Apart of this, on the bases of thematics of chosen research papers in the article, some directions of further development of Shalamov’s legacy were determined.

Abstract:

The operatic diva, a singer of strange songs, and too often a turbulent, unkind girl, haunted the nineteenth-century imagination, as evidenced by the musical tales of E. T. A. Hoffmann and numerous retellings of those tales in theatre, ballet and opera. Each adaptation of Hoffmann's ‘Rat Krespel’, ‘Der Sandmann’ and ‘Don Juan’ reflects an ambivalent attitude towards women performers, whose potent voices make them simultaneously desirable and fearsome. How do these stories about female singers contrive to contain and manage the singing woman’s authority? And how does the prima donna's voice repeatedly make itself heard, eluding and overcoming narrative attempts to shape or contain its turbulent noise?Let me begin with an excerpt from ‘Rat Krespel’ (1818), which might serve as a parable for relationships between female singers and male music lovers in the Romantic imagination. Krespel, a young German musician, travelled in Italy and was fortunate enough to win the heart of a celebrated diva, Angela, whose name seemed only appropriate to her heavenly voice. Unfortunately, her personality was less than heavenly, and when she was not actually singing he found her violent whims and demands for attention very trying. One day, as he stood playing his violin:[Angela] embraced her husband, overwhelmed him with sweet and languishing glances, and rested her pretty head on his shoulder. But Krespel, carried away into the world of music, continued to play on until the walls echoed again; thus he chanced to touch the Signora somewhat ungently with his arm and the fiddle bow.

Abstract:

Abstract We suggest a new parametric approach to estimate the extent of downward nominal wage rigidity in ten European countries between 1995 and 2001. The database used throughout is the User Data Base of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). The proposed approach is based on the generalized hyperbolic distribution, which allows to model wage change distributions characterized by thick tales, skewness and leptokurtosis. Significant downward nominal wage rigidity is found in all countries under analysis, but the extent varies considerably across countries. Yearly estimates reveal increasing rigidity in Italy, Greece and Portugal, while rigidity is declining in Denmark and Belgium. The results imply that the costs of price stability differ substantially across Europe.

Abstract:

Abstract When Hawthorne set “Rappaccini's Daughter” in Italy, he recreated a country he had known, at that stage of his life, only through his reading and his perusal of prints. Unable to leave his native country, he had traveled to Italy imaginatively, and he had further emphasized the distance between the Italian tale and his American productions by attributing it to his French alter ego M. de l’Aubépine. Although “Rappaccini's Daughter” is one of Hawthorne's most widely discussed tales, the provenance of its male protagonist, Giovanni Guasconti, has received but scant attention. This essay will concentrate on the precise identification of Giovanni as a Neapolitan student who has left his home and has traveled a great distance to study at the University of Padua, in the north. Given the story's setting, namely, Renaissance Italy, Giovanni has traveled from what was then the Kingdom of Naples to the territory of the Republic of Venice. To all intents and purposes, Giovanni is a foreigner in a city where everything is unfamiliar and mysterious. The estrangement he experiences inevitably colors his perception of places, people, and events. Giovanni feels ill at ease in the stony urban center of Padua and longs for the sunny vistas of seaside Naples. It is precisely his longing that renders him particularly vulnerable to the lure of Dr. Rappaccini's luxuriant garden (a sort of microclimate, a southern oasis in the north), which he can see from his window. He hungers, one might say, for greenery, and that need exposes him to danger.

Abstract:

La memoria y la historiografía de la Primera Guerra Mundial en Italia se puede dividir en cuatro amplios periodos. Durante el periodo inmediato a la posguerra (1918-1922) el debate se concentró primordialmente en aspectos tales como la derrota italiana en Caporetto en 1917, los costes de la guerra humanos y materiales y el tratado de paz. En las décadas subsiguientes (1922-1960) el fascismo se presentó como el heredero de la guerra, convirtiéndose en un elemento fundamental de la identidad nacionalista así como parte de los ritos del régimen. Esta interpretación nacionalista y fascista del conflicto sobrevivió en muchos aspectos hasta los comienzos de los años 1960. Las visiones de la guerra se revisaron subsecuentemente a lo largo de los siguientes veinte años (1960-1980). Las nuevas tendencias culturales de estas décadas generaron una historia del conflicto desde abajo, abarcando las experiencias de los soldados italianos, vistos en muchos casos como víctimas de la maquinaria militar. La historiografía se centró en su oposición a la guerra, incluyendo casos de indisciplina y crisis nerviosas. En tiempos más actuales (1980-2014) estas tendencias continúan y emergen nuevos estudios, pero aún están bastante desatendidos múltiples aspectos de la guerra, incluyendo el frente interno y el contexto internacional (los enemigos de Italia inclusive). Además, aunque hay un vivo interés público en la Primera Guerra Mundial en la Italia noreste, que fue el escenario de operaciones, el periodo 1915-1918 posiblemente forma parte de un pasado remoto para la mayor parte de los italianos.

Abstract:

The article examines the Libyan production of Federico Ravagli, a professor from Emilia Romagna who during the Fascist period moved to Libya where taught at the Italian high school in Tripoli. At the same time, he carried out an outstanding chronicle and documentary activity.Ravagli uses writing as a means of recounting his experience in the colony, which he will put later at the service of the propaganda of the Mussolini regime. In the three texts analyzed, Libya does not have the exotics features which characterized the first tales of travel, but it becomes the extension of Italy. The representation of “quarta sponda” that the author offers to us is the place where the virtues of the fascist superman are affirmed and where the cultural military value of Italian man in best displayed.

Abstract:

When Charles Perrault adapted his French “Puss in Boots” from earlier Italian versions by Giovan Francesco Straparola and Giambattista Basile, he made his feline protagonist a male. The cat, however, was grammatically gendered as feminine in the Italian versions, and several critics have speculated on the reasons for the French author’s change—regarded as purely ideological. This essay examines the cat’s gender in these three tales, and Perrault’s change, from a philological as well as a feminist perspective, with an emphasis on the gender of the dying parent at the beginning of the story: a father in Basile and Perrault, but a mother with a cat-like name in Straparola.

Aprender a Aprender (AaA) es un concepto central en el desarrollo individual, frecuentemente desatendido en los currículos. Es una compleja reflexión sobre el aprendizaje que moviliza componentes cognitivos, metacognitivos y socio-afectivos-motivacionales, tales como auto confianza, producción de conocimiento sobre el propio aprendizaje, proactividad, mejora y compartición de aprendizaje. Todo lo anterior con la finalidad de enfrentar la incertidumbre y dar sentido a la realidad. Los maestros están en una posición importante para ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar esta híper-competencia. El propósito de este estudio cualitativo es describir las concepciones de AaA en los docentes brasileños e italianos, resultando en una comparación particularmente informativa dado que ambos países enfrentan desafíos similares en la implementación del AaA en situaciones concretas dentro del aula. Empleamos un enfoque de teoría-práctica-teoría con una entrevista semi estructurada adaptada para ambos países. El análisis descriptivo de 42 entrevistas muestra que los maestros tienen una concepción positiva aún estrecha de AaA. Solo una minoría proporcionó una definición elaborada, consecuentemente los docentes necesitan capacitación específica para ayudar a los estudiantes a aprender cómo aprender. Se destacan las implicaciones para las políticas y para la investigación futura. Los currículos necesitan un enfoque específico sobre AaA para que los docentes lo implementen y los investigadores necesitan profundizar las relaciones entre la concepción de AaA y las prácticas docentes en el aula.Palabras clave: aprender a aprender; definiciones docentes de aprender a aprender; estudio cualitativo comparativo sobre aprender a aprender; aprender a aprender en Brasil e Italia

Full text

Abstract:

Associated with such life writing genres as (auto)biographies and memoirs, anecdotes are described as stories which “illustrate particular ideas, concepts, and views of the way a life is lived, making considerable editorial commentary on the nature of a particular ideological moment and the effect of that moment on individual lives.”(Encyclopedia of Life Writing) Anecdotes thus focus on, and highlight, episodes of a person’s life by transforming them into tales and stories using fictional narrative techniques and suspenseful plot twists. Having emigrated from Italy to Scotland at the beginning of the twentieth century and established his fish and chip shop in Glasgow, Joe Pieri was then interned and turned into an “enemy alien” on the day Italy declared war on Britain in 1940. In Isle of the Displaced, his book about this traumatic event, Pieri turns the most marking aspects of his journey to, and life in “Camp S” in Canada into a series of witty and comic anecdotes. This paper focuses on the definitions and history of anecdotal theory in order to analyse Pieri’s fictionalisation strategies and the way these stories function as a psychological dam in times of crisis, in addition to re-inscribing these important events in British and Italian histories. The main contention of this article is that the appeal of fiction increases during life’s most difficult times mainly thanks to the imaginative and tragic-comic powers of literariness.

Abstract:

As the fame of Gianni Rodari reached a new height in 2020 with the celebration of his centennial, this overview of his legacy focuses on the most recent publication of Rodari’s works in translation around the world beginning in 2000. His versatility as a writer for children is evident in his entire body of works, his poetry, and his prose. Rodari’s translations hardly reflect on the diversity of the genres he had employed in his writings. The outcome of my investigation is the following: Rodari’s playfulness in writing, especially in poetry, has found recognition outside of Italy only in Russia. Other countries seem to prefer Rodari’s prose — his short stories or novels, especially his earlier works such as Cipollino and Telephone Tales. More research has to be done to keep Rodari’s popularity thriving, but, as these preliminary findings demonstrate, a renewed interest in the literary legacy of this beloved Italian children’s writer is widely spread nowadays, thus promising new poetic translations.

Abstract:

One of the great mysteries of the history of southern Italy, if studied from a purely literary point of view, is the ethnic composition of the Greek cities in the era of the Oscan and Roman conquests. Ancient authors paint a most gloomy picture of those cities which were conquered by the Oscan peoples at the end of the 5th century B.C. or later, saying in some cases that the entire Greek population was slaughtered (Cumae, 421 B.C.), in others that the entire elite was slaughtered (as happened during the capture of Rhegium by Campanian mercenaries in 275 B.C.), and in yet others that the remainder of the Greek population was kept in a state of dire subjection (Paestum, 410 B.C.). While not wishing to minimize the horrors of war, these lurid tales must be an over-simplification of the actual situation. It is not readily plausible that entire Greek populations disappeared so abruptly.

Abstract:

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Margaret Collier Galletti di Cadilhac (1846-1928), a little-known writer, published Prince Peerless: A Fairy Folk Story Book (1886), a collection of fairy tales that demands scholarly attention as a valuable experiment with imagining permeable national cultural borders. Collier’s writing appealed to the Victorian readership because it represented unfamiliar Italian geopolitics she understood well as a British resident in Italy. This article, for the first time, opens the door to her Anglo-Italian nursery to examine the ways in which her multilingual and multicultural family stimulated Prince Peerless, a Christmas book beautifully illustrated by John Collier (1850-1934), the author’s younger brother. It explores how, through fantasy, she moves beyond factual and practical experience of negotiating Anglo-Italian dynamics and speculates on the potential of growing up multinational. In her tales, fairies, elves, and gnomes are an effective vehicle in representing linguistic, cultural, and sociohistorical diversity. Her fantastic creatures are an essential interlocutor for children to grow up understanding the value, as well as the challenge, of being other, of cultural differences, interaction, and negotiation. This article studies how Prince Peerless charts new geographies of encounters between children, or young adults, and magical creatures. In the fairy tale, I argue, Margaret Collier finds a subjunctive form to explore how childhood experiences of visiting fairylands can shape one’s cultural models of identity and transcend national borders by configuring identities that go beyond sociocultural expectations defined by nation states and assert a multilingual and multilayered identity.

Abstract:

The article examines Gorky’s avant-garde legacy. The author compares thewriter’s metaphors with the imagery of futurists and discovers aSuprematist flavour of descriptions in Gorky’s works. Examined in detail is the use of defamiliarisation ( ostranenie). In Gorky’s earlier works, its eﬀect is diminished by the author’s comments on the technique. In the novel The Life of Klim Samgin [ Zhizn Klima Samgina], defamiliarisation features at its most accomplished level and becomes the organising principle of the narration. Theparticular relevance of defamiliarisation follows from Gorky’s natural tendency towards allegory. Defamiliarisation is analysed as a special case ofallegory (termed ‘a negative allegory’ by D. Chizhevsky). Gorky’s diﬀerences with the avant-garde movement were spiritual as much as artistic: a negative meaning of the ‘black square’ in his works proves it. The article shows how the image, unrelated to the famous painting but representing the philosophy favoured by Malevich, can be found in the collections Through Russia [Po Rusi] and Tales of Italy [ Skazki ob Italii], the autobiographic installment In the World [V lyudyakh], and in The Life of Klim Samgin.

Abstract: Between 1968 and 1980, Italy witnessed a dynamic transformation in children’s literature marked by innovative visual, aesthetic, and educational paradigms, involving a profound assimilation of social, cultural, and political dimensions into children’s literature. Children’s books became hubs of interdisciplinary experimentation in which young readers were to be critical cultural participants. These changes took the forms of playful storytelling, intertextuality, nonlinear narratives, and groundbreaking visual, graphic, and material elements. Pioneering technologies further enriched the sensory experience suffusing these books. This article examines the enduring impact of these transformations on Italian children’s literature, focusing particularly on early literacy. It explores four distinct categories of change: the emergence of radical series, innovative adaptations of folk tales, multisensory training grounds, and a trend toward visual narrative cards. These innovations revolutionized prereading education, emphasizing children’s agency and sensory engagement. In studying these shifts, this research underscores the legacy of early experiments in Italian children’s literature, initiatives that continue to shape contemporary children’s literature and education globally, exemplifying the profound impact of a revolutionary period in children’s publishing.

Abstract Scrolling through Elenco dei manoscritti arabi islamici della Biblioteca vaticana (The List of Islamic Arabic manuscripts in the Vatican Library) by Giorgio Levi Della Vida (1935, p. 65), I was intrigued by manuscript Vat. Ar. 594, entitled Riwāyāt ḍiḥkiyya (Humorous Tales), dating back to the 17th century. After examining its content, I was attracted to: a) its predominant use of Egyptian; b) its avant-garde intent to teach (what’s more, in Italy), the vernacular rather than classic or standard Arabic for communication purposes; c) I was amused by the ironic, moral and satirical nature of the text and its dialogue reworkings; d) I was struck by the originality of the description of its protagonists that unfold and end with sui generis moral advice. For these reasons, I decided to study his fables (143r-187v), setting myself three main objectives: to illustrate a) the representations of the protagonists; b) some characteristic linguistic elements of 17th century Egyptian; c) Italian-inspired avant-garde use of colloquial neo-Arabic for language teaching purposes, found in the works written in Rome at San Pietro in Montorio school.

Abstract:

This article focuses on miracle narratives associated with saints originating in the Nordic region, written from the 12th to the 15th century, where a rich collection of images of children present around and inside of churches and at shrines can be found. Many of the tales portray children in devotional activities, giving an indication of how children moved and acted in these spaces. The events described often transpire during prayers and services, and show how children were seen and heard in spaces where liturgical activity shaped the rhythms of the day and the year. By examining how children are presented, as present and participating in these spaces, and by noting the bits of sensory information given in the narratives, this article adds to our mental image of the religious practices as well as sensory experiences of medieval children.

Abstract:

Leonid (1867-1937) and Rimma (1877-1959) Brailowsky brought to Belgrade National theatre (together with other Russian emigrated stage and costume designers) the spirit of the World of Art (Mir Iskusstva), making d?cor and costumes for 18 performances during the period of 1921-1924. Les romanesques by Edmond Rostand, Le malade imaginaire by Moli?re, Shakespeare's Richard III, Merchant of Venice and King Lear and two Serbian dramas, Offenbach's Hoffmann's Tales, Faust by Gounod, Smetana's Bartered Bride, Bizet's Carmen Onegin and Queen of Spades by Tchaikovsky, Massenet's Manon, The Tsar's Bride by Rimsky-Korsakov, The Wedding of Milos by Petar Konjovic, the Serbian opera composer, two ballets, Sheherazade and Nutcracker. The artists, husband and wife, were praised for their modernization of the Belgrade scene, for their vivid realization of sets and costumes, for their novelties, especially in Serbian historical dramas by Branislav Nusic and Milutin Bojic, and Shakespeare as well. In operas and ballets they were also respected in some extent, but the pictorial, sometimes independent value of their scenic work, although inspired by music, arouse opposing questions among the musical critics, who could not accept their too bright colors which once conquered Paris in the scenic interpretation of Leon Bakst or Nikolai Roerich. To avoid resistance of Belgrade critics the couple decided to leave Yugoslav capital for Italy where they continued successfully their artistic career.

Abstract:

In Soviet literary criticism, Gorky's innovation was usually associated with his revolutionary activity, calling him “the first proletarian writer in time and rank” and “the founder of socialist realism”. The cliches of Marxist-Leninist aesthetics were so tightly attached to the writer that they survived to this day. The paper considers the work of Gorky from new methodological standpoint, since the writer from the very beginning of his activity sought to create his own method of depicting life from the perspective of the future. Analyzing the novel “Mother”, which was considered the first work of socialist realism, the author shows that this novel was inextricably connected with a philosophical and aesthetic system of the Silver Age, and its genre (utopia novel) is consonant with the novels by A. Bogdanov “Red Star” and F. Sologub “Legend in the making”. The organic connection of Nietzscheanism with Marxism, and God-building with a realistic description of the revolutionary movement in the working settlement, was truly innovative. Gorky's sincere faith in socialism, which could become a new religion of the working person, was first expressed in an art work as a utopian dream of a happy future for Russia. Socialist mythology, combined with realism and romanticism, created an innovative method of depicting reality, which is characteristic of “Tales of Italy”, an autobiographical trilogy and “The Life of Klim Samgin”. Gorky's work came to be a link between the culture of the Silver Age and Soviet literature.

Abstract:

Critics generally note a big shift in Lord Byron's style: the potently gloomy Eastern Tales, showcasing the magnetically alienated Byronic Hero, give way to a sharply contrasting style, that of the conversational Don Juan (1819-24). Accounts of Byron's career tend to treat this alteration as sudden or whimsical. In fact, it is intrinsically tied to exile, a connection illustrated by the verse-romance Mazeppa (1819), in many ways the forerunner of the contemporaneously begun Don Juan. Mazeppa is Byron's most elaborate-even systematic-depiction of exile; its hero, tied onto a wild horse and sent off into the wilderness, learns to endure amid dramatically changed circumstances. As its hero describes his travails, Mazeppa yokes together a number of entities forced to interact, uneasy pairings that include horse/water, man/horse, past/present, history/romance, and narrator/auditor. Dialogic interchange thus shapes Byron's portrayal of exile; the conversational style he developed in Italy underscores M. M. Bakhtin's emphasis on interaction across boundaries. Byron's investment in alteration helps us to frame his seemingly dismissive treatment of some contemporaries, particularly the Laker poets. As Mazeppa particularly demonstrates in its elaborate echoing of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798, revised 1817), Byron's denouncement of what he called the "wrong revolutionary poetical system" was not repudiation so much as interchange, from the vantage of exile. Unlike the Rime, Mazeppa envisions narrative as subject to unpredictable recontextualization, a submission that marks exiled poet and distanced reader as the most important dialogic pairing in Byron's late work.

Abstract:

The article discusses the history of the genesis and the present condition of museum-type institutions in Russia and abroad, dealing with the preservation, representation or popularization of the literary heritage. The reasons and history of the formation of the term “paramuseum” abroad in the 1980s and the term “museum-type institution” in Russia in the 2000s are considered, examples of researchers who addressed this topic are given. An attempt has been made to give a broader definition of the existing term “museum-type institution” based on a comparison of museum-type institutions with institutions closest to them — museums and to highlight their main differences. The reasons for the emergence of museum-type institutions are revealed and their classification is given. It is indicated what is meant by literary themes in the context of this article. Examples of various types of museum-type institutions with literary subjects in Europe (Netherlands, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Russia and others), Asia (Japan, Korea and others) and North America (USA) are given. Their main features are indicated — a different amount of museum functions performed, the principle of location. Examples are given of theme parks (Efteling, Pinocchio Park, Astrid Lindgren’s World, Moomin World, Canadian World, Petite France and others), cultural centers (Patrick Kavanagh Centre, John Dos Passos Cultural Center, Cultural Center. A.I. Solzhenitsyna and others) and children’s museums (such as “Tower of Snegurochka”, “Wizard Forest”, interactive museum-theater “Pushkin’s fairy tales”) with literary themes, rooms of writers and expositions dedicated to them in libraries and educational institutions, cafe-museum and restaurant-museum. Based on these examples, the author concludes that many institutions seem to be very promising and have the potential to become full-fledged museums.

Abstract:

Environmental taxes and subsidies are considered by the economic theory as useful policy instruments to enhance environmental protection, improve the alignment of prices with full social costs, and encourage sustainable modes of consumption and production. In a policy-oriented perspective, the issue of reforming the financial system in an environmental perspective has attracted increasing attention to the international and European agenda in recent decades. Despite these premises, the actual implementation of environmental fiscal reforms (EFRs) has often lagged behind their full potential and premises. This paper analyzes environmental taxes and subsidies applied in Italy in the last decades to identify priorities, opportunities, and barriers to future developments. Data collected in the main national data sources and reports, as the recently established Catalogue of Environmentally Harmful Subsidies (EHSs) and environmentally friendly subsidies (EFSs), reveal how the implementation and design of taxes and subsidies have been, and still are, mainly driven by non-environmental objectives, leading to mixed and not completely satisfactory effects. In conclusion, relying on these results, some key elements – transparency, graduality, and predictability – may help to overcome the existing barriers to implement and achieve a broader and comprehensive EFR in Italy.
